Let us be clear – opening an account and making a deposit at a Forex broker is something you should take seriously. You are putting some of your capital in the hands of a company, and in return, you should expect them to provide the tools you need. The more money you deposit as a percentage of your net liquid worth, the more careful you need to be. You should also expect that your deposit (and profits) will be kept in safe custody, and you want to know that that you will be able to make a speedy withdrawal.
Your first concern in reviewing a broker should be the integrity of the firm, the soundness of their business practices, and the quality of the regulatory framework which they work under. After all, if you find a broker is not to your liking, there is little damage done if you are able to close your account.
Our State of the Market Report and directory of CFD Brokers to Avoid are the results of extensive research on over 200 Forex brokers. The explicit goal of these resources is to help traders find the best Forex brokers – and steer them away from the worst ones – with the benefit of accurate and up-to-date information.
With over 150 data points on each broker and over 3000 hours of research and review writing, we believe we have succeeded in our goal.
In a world where trading conditions and customer support can vary based on where you live, our broker reviews focus on the local trader and give you information about these brokers from your perspective.
All research has been conducted by our in-house team of researchers and writers, gathering information from various company representatives, websites and sifting through the fine print.
